Manchester City legend, Sergio Aguero, has hailed Chelsea transfer target Declan Rice, insisting that the midfielder is at the ‘same level’ as Barcelona’s Sergio Busquets and Manchester United’s Casemiro.
Aguero also said that Rice is one of the strengths of the Three Lions of England at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Rice has established himself as one of the most consistent footballers in the English Premier League and a regular for the England national team over the past four seasons.

Rice’s form for West Ham United and England has attracted attention from Chelsea and Man United in the past.
Speaking about Rice, Aguero told Stake, “For me, he’s a great player and is at the same level as the best midfielders like Busquets, Rodri and Casemiro.
“It seems to me that he’s valued. What happens is that with him not being in a ‘Big Six’ team, he doesn’t get talked about as much.
“But he has proven himself and I think he’s one of the strengths of the England team at the World Cup.”
